I really like your red knights, maybe they're slightly too red for my taste, but still great!
The white paladin..... he looks awesome! Thats the sheme I'd pick for sure!

Subd

A few more washes afterwards.
Wadya think ?

I like the blue for the internals. I like it a lot.

I think it's at odds with the green though. But the green is well done too!

I think the blue bits need to be darker, at least towards the breaks in the armor. Skip the Badab Black and instead water down some Chaos Black a little and paint that on the bottom edges of the breaks, and a little inside them as well.

Maybe take the brush and drag some drips and runs down the armor with said black. That'll be your dark points, and then you can wash over that and blend the oozing into the darker color...

Not sure how time intense that will be, I have no Nurgle models to test on.

Pictures pictures pictures !!! We all love pictures !

Received my order from Hightech miniatures.

First, the obliterators (or count as anyway).






And banners



So, casting is almost too good to be true. No casting lines, whatsoever, details are fully visible, minis are cut clean. No sprue, so it's just glue and paint. Some details are incredibly fine. I do not know what plastic/resin they use, but it seems durable, unbendable and durable. I must say I am quite impressed.

I look forward to painting these guys and fielding them !

First one built !

Those are wild looking. Can't wait to see them painted.

Have them painted, please. It does look really awesome.

I'm so happy with this one I'll put it in the showcase area.

What red do you use on your GK :O I really need to steal that color for my paladin apothecary xD

You can find the photo of the acrylic paint I used bottom of the first page. It's very similar with blood red.

That flesh looks extremely disturbing, which I guess is a good thing for an Obliterator. Great job!

I love the schemes you did for your guys, I too am building a GK army and can't decide what color I would go for. I love the white one, and the red one a lot!

I was going to try making a Red GK, Bronze and White/Gold but seeing yours lets me know gold might be a bit too much for me, I used to have a hard time using lots of golds on my CSM and my Khorne.

Your red is incredibly Vibrant, far more vibrant than my Khorne came out, what kind of red do you use?

Thanks for the compliments!

Sidenote : Received chapterhouse order !

Stand ready for awesome conversions !! (at least I hope so)

These are awesome I love the non standard colors

Not a lot of time to paint at the moment, I thought I would update with a quick WIP on a Tzeentch lord / Sorcerer I'm on.

The daemon gauntlet is from the Terminator chaos lord box, I thought it could easily be used as a daemon or force weapon, as well as a regular PF. The combi melta could either be a real combi melta or the representation of any shooty powers I give to a sorcerer. What do you think? Acceptable on a game table ?








At the same time, working on a customer disk of Tzeentch I can use as a mount if need be. I want to be able to put the mini on it when needed, and be on foot when needed.



Any one having advice on how to make this look good will be greatly appreciated !

Long overdue update !

Another plague marine test scheme. I LIKE. Thoughts?



A kitebash, can be used as raptor champion or a lash sorc /w jump pack or chaos lord with DW. Yes, I so love that PF that I could use it as a PF. Toughts?



Close up on the PF.

I think the Plague Marine looks good, but I would replace the green bits on the armor with a dark blue and see how that looks.

Great job Seb!

So much good stuff here. I must say I have a preference for your CSMs though, especially your plague marines.

I'll give a shot to something like necron abyss or something like dark. Maybe a good idea !

Necron Abyss is definitely a good call. Maybe with a highlight of Mordian as well.

Hey, just found this. Nice work,
1) love the ivory gks, and it clearly works with your painting style
2) I like your kitbashes, they're characterful and crazy
3) Love the detailing on nurgleys, but I really feel the metalwork needs some corrosion. It all feels a bit shiny just now.

Great blog man - sub'd!

Those two are very nicely painted, especially the head of the second one! Great job!

Pro use of the dryad head (I think?) on the Raptor Champ.

Thats a posessed chaos space marine head.

Wow! Awesome looking Plague Marine!

Thanks !

And Decoste's right, it's from the possessed pack.

Here's my last mini. Took a long time to get it done, and yet I'm not happy with it. Too much colours maybe. Thoughts ?

I think he just might be a little color ADD at the moment. There's nothing wrong with your painting, your technique is good. And the red and blue look good with each other.

I think if you tone down the green, maybe with a black or brown wash, (Maybe two) it will help tone it down and stop distracting the eye without you having to paint it a completely different color.

I think your technique is good, but I agree there is something wrong with the colours.
For me it's the blue. I'm not sure it fits the red/orange armor plates. Perhaps something yellow/golden instead, or black?

Change the blue to a really pale light blue/creamy colour, will
Completely change the model

It's pretty much that one of the primary colors needs to go. Having Blue Green and Red all so bright on the model fights for the attention way too much.

Red and Blue can work fine on a model. But we're just being distracted from that by the green.

I find the blue trim's to be a really nice synergy with the red. But at the same time (painting blood angels) I know that green works really nicely with red as well. Generally you have to go with one of these colors and reduce the other to a lesser vibrant / powerful colour.

My personal preference would be to sacrifice the green. Generally its only present on cables and the claws. Reduce the green to a pale-dark-muted green or change the color entirely to feature metalic of black cables.
I say that generally because to me the green as is in your model there simply falls under an "accessory colour" which is that its not actually a major part in the overall scheme but is still present on the model in sections that aren't supposed to demand focus. Such vibrant green on say the wires merely draws away from the larger sections of the model.

The only exception I really see to that is marine eye visors because people like the glowy effect.
